Online Recalls and Offsite Storage Requests
Instructions for placing a recall on a book that is currently checked out or requesting material from offsite are the same.
Only Bobst, New School, Mannes, and Parsons Libraries materials may be recalled electronically. If the item you need is owned by another library, please recall it there. Contact information for all BobCat-participating libraries is available under "library locations."
Instructions

Search for the title you need in BobCat. Check on the "check library holdings (getit)" link. Please note: If the link reads "Available in your library" or "Available in consortium" than you do not need to place a request. You can pick these item up at the lending library.
